Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 7) — The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has raised concerns over the growing number of Chinese fishing vessels spotted in the disputed West Philippine Sea, with the latest swarming seen as a “threat” to oil and gas-rich Recto Bank’s security.
ReplyDeleteDescribing it as “a concerning development,” the AFP reported Friday that pilots aboard NV312—a Britten Norman Islander light patrol aircraft of the Philippine Navy—saw an “alarming presence” of Chinese vessels during their latest air patrol on June 30.

Clearly trolling. That said trolls can sometimes tell the truth to effect. Goebbels did not always lie. Sometimes he told the truth and nothing but the truth.
Occupy Wall Street and others groups, while some of them might be set up by Democrat grandees and others, will be harder to control than it is to control people in China with the social credit system.
The trolls statement does not bother me. It should however bother some of WNU's friends or clients in the US. i.e. their creations might run amok like Frankenstein.
You could say that given 11:13 is a troll and writing for trollish effect, the writing is on the wall.
got to give the troll credit. The statement is somewhat observant and witty. While most people could have come up with the phrase or or remembered it, most dare not look.
